Fix your numbers guys, a .38 bullet is probably not going through 25.6mm of T6 aluminum.

Fix your numbers guys, a .38 bullet is probably not going through 25.6mm of T6 aluminum.
itd probably dent or crack it at supersonic speeds. but, who cares? any meatball shooting at a 10mm stroker lamey is a turd whos opinion doesnt count.
the point is that youre not relying on epoxy. youre relying on a thickass aluminum plate that is ahelluvalot stronger than the cast 6m6 lower case half.

Are those steel bolts holding the cyl to the cases? I guess stainless will corrode the aluminum?

Unfortunately stainless bolts are not available that long in fine thread metric. I wish, I looked around. At least I was unable to find them.
Steel bolts have a better tensile strength than stainless bolts anyway.

I'm sure whoever is going to run this kind of set will probably maintain and keep it inside away form the elements
I agree, steel is much stronger and can be torques higher

I have to agree there.
Good idea.
My whole boat is rigged with nothing but and I mean everything. All my cars have their bolts.
Tried that initially on another project we did. I recall their minimum quantities were pretty high.
I might try again though, as I am sure in this business climate they might be a little more apt to deal with smaller orders.
Metric specialties have what we need, we might be going that route.
